Special Day Is A Grandkids Day

Yesterday we had a wonderful day with family at their house!
Grand daughter wanted to do "Arts and Crafts"...I pulled out my bag of acrylics and canvases and they got right to work. GD is wearing a garage sale find hat that fit her perfectly! Cute!
They had already been artfully decorating themselves before we arrived as this sweet leg shows: 32 tattoos and pink toe nail polish!
This is my Grand daughters painting.
Look how proud my grand son is of his painting! He did two!
Mom is asking kids questions geared for kindergartners on a set of "Brain Teaser Cards" (another garage sale find btw)...she said they needed the one for first graders as these questions were too easy for them!!! They start kindergarten in September. ;~)
Grandpa enjoyed sharing a big pop up book of dinosaurs with the kids, who delighted in pretending to be frightened when they popped up off the pages.
Lest you think we just sat around all day, you can see Grandpa and Grandson shooting hoops!
My daughter looking out her kitchen window as she and husband prepare a most delicious dinner of barbecued lamb, salad, fresh corn on the cob for us!
And finally we finished up with this beautiful pie that my son in law and grandson made together earlier in the day! It was out of this world good, and YES, I had a tiny slice.

Ohh Lynn, what more do you need?!This is perfect!I enjoyed the pictures knowing you must have had a wonderful time!So great to do all these things with your grandchildren and isn't it special to be so welcome.....

Marianne, it is indeed special and everything wonderful. I do not need a single solitary other thing.I am full filled.

Soul, is your question mark after September a mis-write or is it in question?

Lisa, I got so high on the little bit of sugar I did eat another bite would have sent me over the edge. The kids LOVE to do all matter of arts and crafts.

Cris, YES, he was proud. He sees his sister as the artist in the family, so I was so happy to see him let himself go with the paints! He really got into it.

Teri, not sure if it is a matter of inheriting it or just learning it from as soon as I could start with them I did. Mom doesn't have it, but Grandma does and the kids wait for me to come to do IT. And they DO IT on their own as at least mom supplies all the materials for them to continue drawing between visits. They also get it at school of course too. Lots of opportunities to be creative.

It doesn't get any better than a day with the kids. you and I have something in common for sure. I always get out the large white paper and the kids paint. They think it is so much fun because Grandma's loveeverything. This was a delight and that pie looks to good to eat, but knowing me, I would have taken on a piece. Happy Grandma Day and many, Many more. Hugs, Mary

I found some neon markers at the thrift store and went crazy over using the yellow one! Glad there were a lot of blonds out this week wh...

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
